Hey. This is my first time posting anything onto Instagram. This past Spring semester I made character designs for this Stranger Things fanfic called Stranger Things: The Seven Chronicles. Technically it was for school, but I was having a sort of artist block when trying to think of something to work on for my class. I also wanted to make artwork for this fanfic because… well I created to characters personally for it. The fanfic is an SYOC fanfic (Submit/Select Your Own Character). The story takes place in 1976 in Rockford, Illinois where a group of teens find a strange boy who happens have waterbending powers. This character here is one I made for the fanfic. Her name is Natroya “Naty” Rhodes. She’s a black cheerleader who strives for perfection in her athletic ability and wants to maintain her position as a popular. Naty can come across as the mean girl, but mainly to those that are in the high school popularity hierarchy. She’s friends with classmates that are on the lower end of the popularity chain because they’re less of a threat to her. When talking to the author they sometimes say that Naty is like the Lucas of the teens. Granted the major difference between Naty and Lucas in my eyes is that Lucas’ hostility towards the new member of the group comes from the stress of one his best friends being missing. Naty’s hostility comes from not knowing who this teenage is and thus can’t recognize what he’s all about. She can figure out her classmates and whether they’re a threat to her on the high school social hierarchy, but not this teen in a hospital gown. Naty doesn’t have a missing friend, just the anomaly that this teenage boy is something she can’t figure out. #strangerthings #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #natroya #natyrhodes #naty #natroyarhodes #black #bisexual #erisbaker #cheerleader #1970s #calvinhgatsby #syoc #friendship #coolgirl #popular #popularity #faceclaim #face #claim #rockfordillinois #rockford https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCZPZvFu5o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ok KO: Heroes in Action - Glitter Bomb

Here we have Elodie in a middle of three robbers about to make an escape.

But thanks to her super move she successfully vanquished all three for making a hot pursuit.

Talk about out with a bang!

There will be more Heroes in Action soon

Well, I mean... I agree. With all my hate and direspect for John Walker, I’m sincerely happy for Wyatt Russell to be in MARVEL and wish him almost that popularity that in these times have Sebastian Stan or Anthony Mackie 💖💖💖

Just a gentle reminder that though we hate John Walker with every fibre of our being, we are welcoming Wyatt Russell in the MCU with open arms and lots of love.

Hair

I remember when I could run my fingers through my hair

And end up with a concerning amount of hair in my hand

Luckily I have thick hair so it wasn’t noticeable

I didn’t have much control

Over my body and what it was doing

And I felt frustrated over my hair

It turns out that when your body is worried about survival

It will neglect your hair and fingernails

I find it ironic that those two things will appear to grow after you’re dead

Anyways, I remember getting chubby cheeks

From steroids

And I felt ugly for not knowing who I was at 13

Then I grew my hair out really long

Since it seemed like the longer your hair was,

The cooler you were when it came to the strange rules of the popularity of high school girls

I grew my hair and started to feel as if I could hide behind it

As if I could hide my depression behind it and act like it didn’t exist

But I also remember how heavy with water it would get when I showered

So I had the idea of cutting it

Short

And decided to write my own rules for the popularity of misfits

And now my hair is getting longer

In a way I like it and in another I hate it

But what does a girl’s hair mean anyway?

Camp Sloane

It felt like I started a new life

A good one

A happy one It was a life full of new people

And new experiences

That were better than ever before A life without popularity

A life built of trust

And support A new home

In tents and out of town

With a better view of the lovely stars Now I'm back in my town

Back to the same life

Back to the same person Back inside

Where the breeze does not blow

And where the sky is not as beautiful Back inside

Where there aren't any waterfalls

And yet I find my feet in the same shoes

NATG XIV - Day 13

Prompt: Draw a pony experiencing their 15 minutes of fame / Draw a pony in the spotlight.

Based on a piece I did for last year's NATG, where a changeling disguised as Fluttershy becomes really popular.
